IS VIKTOH YBNL'S ARTISTE A REJECTED ONE IN THE RECORD LABEL

In terms of hits churned out by artistes, YBNL may well be

one of the foremost record labels in the country at the

moment.

Many of its signees are currently topping charts. As a

matter of fact, it would be safe to say that when YBNL

sneezes, the whole music industry catches cold; a case in

reference is the Headies saga of January 2016 when

Olamide practically shut down the event when his protégé,

Lil Kesh, lost out on the Next Rated category of the

awards.

   However, while some of YBNL’s acts are soaring and

shining, the same cannot be said of one of the label’s first

signees, Viktoh.

An avid observer would note that Viktoh doesn’t have a

respectable hit to his name. Meanwhile, Lil Kesh who he

introduced to his label boss, Olamide, is already regarded

as a heavyweight of sorts in the industry.

Some of Viktoh’s songs which failed to attract mainstream

attention include ‘Skibbii That,’ ‘Instagram Police,’ ‘Say

Them Say’ among others.

However, some people have attributed Viktoh’s slow

career growth to Olamide. According to this school of

thought, Olamide doesn’t give Viktoh the desired attention

unlike Lil Kesh and Adekunle Gold.

According to a source who is close to the YBNL crew, even

though Olamide is a liberal boss who gives all his artistes

the chance to fly, he seems to have a softer spot for Gold,

Lil Kesh and the new YBNL princess, Temmie Ovwasa.

Speaking on the condition of anonymity, the source

opined, “To be sincere with you, Olamide is a very liberal

boss who is after the success of all his artistes. But if you

consider the way Olamide is always shouting the name of

Lil Kesh, Adekunle Gold and Temmie in his songs and

Instagram posts, you will realize it seems he doesn’t give

the same attention to Viktoh. Though Viktoh should also

up his game in terms of the kind of songs he puts out,

YBNL should also pay more attention to him.”

Meanwhile, another artiste that isn’t getting the desired

attention in YBNL is Chinco Ekun, but sources claim that

his education is what is taking the front burner in his life

right now, and that’s why he’s not so visible on the music

scene.

With Lil Kesh and Adekunle Gold hinting that they would

soon be floating their own record labels, perhaps, Viktoh’s

‘condition’ will improve. Remember, former YBNL signee,

Zino also complained of neglect. It should be noted that Lil

Kesh has left YBNL but he is still under their management.
